Do you really think they’ll show all that in this crusty stream?
FF Type-0 trailer will probably be at TGS.

Budgiecat

…wakarimashita : (

MogCakes

I’m not! Love that game.

Budgiecat

ah fooey!

MogCakes

You’re making me more anxious for KH news.

Budgiecat

kono yaro…

Budgiecat

I like her shirt. Reminds me of my Ducati motorcycle shirt…

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris fixin to start.

Budgiecat

An Tran

Would be nice if they could show that newly announced Final Fantasy Explorers game.

EX+

I don’t understand why publishers feel the need to show shovelware like this.

MogCakes

It pads the time between the big announcements

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Not sure why would you call this shovelware. The first game did very well as a digital download. Lots of people wanted a sequel to Guardian of Light.

EX+

Sorry but it just looks like that kind of game, especially compared to Tomb Raider 2013. That’s just me though.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

They are just different genres, different types of games.

This is more of an action platformer with role playing elements.

KingNigma

That’s like knocking them for showing Theatrhythm instead of XV. Doesn’t mean they’re going to not show the lesser spinoffs.

Budgiecat

eh

KingNigma

oh

Budgiecat

Ai!

Unretributed

I guess every game that doesn’t have shiny graphics and a blown up budget is shovel ware to you young gamers?

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I never actually got to play Guardian of Light. It looked like it could be fun to play with a friend though. This game looks the same, if you like action platformers with co-op.

rainelee

Any chance they will show RoTR game play?

Mehmed

I cant watch it because im in germany. is there another stream? i really wanna watch it!

Quetzalcoatl9999

Are they gonna announce new games?

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

The schedule for today is above and below in pictures I took. They might have a surprise or something, but it’s not something I expect to happen on the stream. They might have announcements for games they are scheduled to show.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Kingdom Hearts music special is coming up next. I’m looking forward to it, I quite like the music in the series.

Just logged in. Hows everyones day been so far. Could have given me a warning of the giant fore head at 49:57 x]

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

/welcome

Doing pretty good so far. Just got done really enjoying the Kingdom Hearts music segment that was just on.

Willgaea

I’m trying to catch up. Your team has so much stamina.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Hahah, well thanks. This is just a busy week with e3. =P

Gael Summers

I’m sooooooooooooo excited for 2.5 HD remix

I remember stumbling upon the 2FM ending on youtube when I was younger. I was just overwhelmed by the BBS trailer and all the extra boss fights in the game.

Man I love boss fights

Budgiecat

I’m more like “okay”

MogCakes

I never got to play KHII:FM so I’m pretty hype for it. December’s a ways off though…

new_tradition

Wait, the game isn’t even done? Holy crap, it already looks really good :O

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I think it looks pretty good for a mobile game. Sure, it’s not a game you would play all day. If you only had just a bit of time to play something, it could be pretty fun.

Budgiecat

If they were like “Aaaaaand it’s out…now!” I’d be more appreciative…

Budgiecat

He’s laughing because he knows he made a temple run clone and they caught him on that….

new_tradition

Is it canon? xD

Willgaea

I laughed at that question too.

Budgiecat

Next up:

A FF XIII Snow on Shiva twins G-Bike iOS/Android game

new_tradition

I would loved a mini-game like that in FFXIII >3>

Budgiecat

toriyama is not capable of varied thought…

new_tradition

THEY CONFIRMED IT, GUIZ. MOBILE RUNNER-ESQUE GAME IS NOT CANON. WE’RE GOOD

lol

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

I did giggle at that question.

Budgiecat

It’s just Cloud having a bad dream…

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

DAMN IT! I was just about to make a ‘shrooms’ joke. >_<

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

It has materia in it eh? I guess you can equip Cloud with different gear and materia as you play it?

Budgiecat

I want “equip Tifa on the back of the bike” customization option

in booty shorts of course…

new_tradition

I kind of want to have Aerith as the playable character. There’s something funny about the idea of her in her pink dress tearing up assphault with her staff and such :P

Budgiecat

I say Tifa on the back of Clouds bike (riding as passenger) because we were robbed of that in the end credits of Advent Children…

new_tradition

There’s a bit of her riding on back during the actual movie, I think…

Well if not that, I have fanart to stare at *_*

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

THAT… would have changed the mood quite a bit.

Budgiecat

meaning?

At the end of the movie, Cloud is like “yeah….I’m not alone” (meaning he has his friends)…supposedly shedding his depressive emo-ness, while seeing off Aerith and Zack, gaining closure…

….then he goes straight back to riding solo in the credits! *facepalm*

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

That’s what I mean! It would have been very different had he been keeping it real with Tifa at the end. As it was it was almost like, “going down the only road I’VE EVER KNOOOWN!!!…” )_)

Budgiecat

hah.. Whitesnake…

Willgaea

He was heading to the gold saucer to bet on some chocobos.

Willgaea

Sounds like a in app purchase.

new_tradition

F2P. Well, I guess that’s not a surprise *shrugs*

Budgiecat

really? All the more reason this and Agito shoulda been out now.

Now we gotta wait…seems like all we do is wait when it comes to S-E..

new_tradition

They said G-Bike isn’t even done yet, and I think Agito might be out not too long from now. They need to localize the language (and maybe VA work?). Not sure how long that would take…

Budgiecat

Doesn’t seem like it should take long…

new_tradition

I hope so. I really wanna play it and then uninstall it

Budgiecat

lol thats totally what i do as well with f2p games…

Willgaea

I just leave them there. Unless they really suck.

Budgiecat

Only ones I don’t delete are the games I paid for. Roadblaster comes to mind. Oh and Crazy taxi (I did get that for free though)

Willgaea

I tend to only play one game on my phone. But I have around 30 on it.

Budgiecat

See i’ve been deleting because I keep videos on my phone now from my new GoPro..

new_tradition

I have to say, I really like how respectful SE employees are about the music. Unless I’m wrong, they can use the music if they really want to since it’s licensed to them and such, right? But they wanna go and ask the composers directly if it’s okay with them.

Elijah Zaharov

Guys, do you know when new announcements will come?

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

I’m guessing during the next few segments (i.e. after this and the next)?

They might not have much. I don’t expect any big announcements, if they haven’t already announced it, they will probably save it for TGS or the SE Japanese members event.

new_tradition

Some nice thought in the game, all things considered then. Keep the atmosphere, the nostalgia…I don’t wanna say it, but if they ever do make a FFVII remake or story-related installments, I guess we can trust they’ll try to respect the lore.

Willgaea

I forgot who said it, But he said if he did try to make a full remake, It would take 10+ years.

new_tradition

I’m not sure what the technicalities of game making are, but I guess making a PS1 game into something people would wanna buy 15+ years later could be quite the task o.o

It’s like I always say when it comes to a possible FF7 remake. They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. If they keep it too much the same, people will crucify them for it, if they change anything, people will crucify them for it. lol…

new_tradition

Yeah, pretty much. Like me personally, I would want them to take into account the installments they created for FFVII into a remake, but I know a lot of people would hate that.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I think they should actually just consider a sequel to Advent Children/Dirge of Cerberus.

The team that remains at SE that worked on FF7, said they don’t really want to spend years remaking an old game. I can understand that.

They should make a fun true sequel to FF7. It would still have lots of drama and pressure behind it, but, I think that would be the best decision.

You know, if they ever decide they actually want to make a true new FF7 game.

As for a remake. They could maybe consider a less expensive remaster of the original game. Perhaps something on the Vita? It would still look better, have enhanced quality and visuals, but not cost them millions and it wouldn’t take years to develop.

Budgiecat

S-E: “Vita??”

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

True, lol. I guess it would be kinda unlikely. Well, maybe then a remaster but not a true AAA version. Something that would be like $15-20 price tag, but still high quality.

Like some of the great games you can find on PSN and Steam, etc.

Budgiecat

as you can see with type-0 going straight to PS4 and skipping Vita (and even PS3), S-E likes to go big (unless its for mobile)

Willgaea

It’s kinda painful seeing Vincent going through his hardships in life.

Budgiecat

true…

but they also missing half the talent pool. Many quit and many left to join Sakaguchi with Mistwalker.

And God forbid they make toriyama director….

MrFinalgamer

The only decent directors left seem to be Nomura, Tabata, and Ito. And God knows what Ito is doing right now.

Budgiecat

Ito is cleaning toilets

new_tradition

I read somewhere Toriyama actually did that first part of FFVII o.o

Budgiecat

he did some minor scenes and Kitase said he had to “keep him in check” from going total retard…

new_tradition

lol

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Yeah, it would almost be like remaking Blade Runner, or worse still, doing a sequel! Slightly different of course in terms of technology changes etc., but the same kind of pressure.

Budgiecat

we had some pretty crappy remakes:

Footloose
Bad News Bears
total Recall
Robocop

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Oh that last one hurt dude, I haven’t (and am not planning to) watched it, but a friend of mine did, she’s LESS a fan of the original than I am (likes it but doesn’t love it), and she said the new one was a travesty. The changes they made… *shudder*

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Yeah, it’s an extreme amount of pressure.

Budgiecat

stop trying so hard Amelia…I’m not going to subscribe…

MrFinalgamer

If I could get Type-0 HD on Vita, I would make 1K accounts, and subscribe in each, and every single one. O_O

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

I’d do the same if they’d make a sequel to Einhander, love that game so much.

Budgiecat

How bout Racing Lagoon, tobal 2 and Heavy Metal thunder?

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Tobal 2 was REALLY unique in it’s gameplay/weight of the moves etc., I would like to see them revisit that actually.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Hitman Mobile discussion time. xD

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

I don’t know why, but every time I hear that I imagine the ‘Agent’ running up to someone stealthily, ‘hitting’ them over the head with his mobile (but only hard enough to annoy them really) then running away super fast, fading into the night! (_(

Martian Wong

Excited for Type-0.HD but feel bad for the one who worked hard for the fan translation

Budgiecat

At least he got it out which is more than I can say for the Chrono fan made game

new_tradition

Every time I see the game footage of Hitman Go, it looks like stop-animation

Willgaea

I have to pass on hit man go.

Budgiecat

wtf was that

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

As she said herself… ‘and moving on to more interesting stuff…’

Budgiecat

ouch

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

I know, I swear one of them actually paused to take a breath when she said that. :P

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Yeah, that was kinda harsh. I guess its to be expected, most people look at it and are like wtf? I haven’t played it, so, not going to judge.

It looks kinda like playing a boardgame or something.

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Yeah I was thinking boardgame as well. Reminds me of a debate I saw ages ago (I think it was in Edge?) where different people were discussing what makes a good ‘show demo’ vs. a good ‘actual’ demo.

Budgiecat

Nice high rise apartment…

Willgaea

LAg death

new_tradition

I’m not exactly following. What’s stopping the player from just taking out the main target?

EDIT: Oh, more money, points. Duh, of course >.<

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

The console version was game over if you got caught or they found agent 47’s position. In this version, I think you just try and kill more etc. for a higher score. More like an arcade mode version.

Budgiecat

maybe stalling for higher scores

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

So, the Hitman Sniper mobile game is like the little add-on they had for Absolution. I played a bit of it because I got it with the game for free.

Now that I’m watching more of it, it’s pretty much the same thing with a few additions and downgrade visual wise.

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

‘We’ve got all the tropes…’

Is that supposed to be a good thing? Really? Do people say that when promoting stuff? I’m not being sarcastic, I just haven’t heard anyone use that phrase so positively before. O_o

Ping92

mobile game problems haha

Budgiecat

All too familiar…

Willgaea

My home button gets pressed a lot on my phone.

Budgiecat

INjustice crashed so many times. And Astro Boy…

Budgiecat

Ah! A Vita question!

MrFinalgamer

Let me guess, they said no Vita version…

Budgiecat

“We’ll see what the future holds”

MrFinalgamer

Last time I heard that come out of Square’s mouth…Type-0 ended up coming out for consoles. ;_;

Willgaea

This game reminds me of when I used quarters to play games.

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Silent Scope!!!!! Only… without the scope…

Willgaea

Haha. Yeah.

Budgiecat

Is there a FF Agito presentation?

MrFinalgamer

Not today.

Anime10121

Not likely, considering the trailer was still in Japanese…

Budgiecat

Is Amelia a bot? She said the same exact thing before…

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

It’s just a pre-recorded video. xD

Willgaea

Do you think SquareEnix cares about our comments? Considering it’s not on their youtube page :P

Budgiecat

they just want us to please be excited….

Willgaea

What if that was their reply to all our comments.

Budgiecat

that IS their reply to any and all comments…

Willgaea

Sad thing is that the fans say it more.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I dunno lol. I’m pretty sure we are one of the only websites doing a “live blog” type of thing for SE presents e3.

They might come read some of this stuff later? Maybe? That would be cool.

Edit – Also. It’s tough to pick out and find good quality comments on YT.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Coming up –

Square Enix Presents: E3 Trailer Line-Up (30 mins)

LIVE from the Square Enix Booth! (30 mins)

All Eyes On: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 REmix (English)

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Darn, I’m going to miss the Kingdom Hearts stuff!!! >_<

Some really nice music though, it's funny, this E3 has been all about the music for me, probably because none of the games were really a surprise (i.e. all the games I was really interested in were ones I was aware of already or have played before, for example Grim Fandango).

But I'm getting ahead of myself, it's not over yet.

Thanks for all the work Zero. ;)

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Thanks. :)

They are going to do some repeats, you can likely catch it later. Also, I’m pretty sure they made separate videos of everything after e3 was over last year. I’m sure they will do that again this year.

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Yup, I’m going to have a lot of catching up to do this weekend!

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I don’t usually play mobile games, because I don’t have a mobile device capable of doing so. I might try Agito out though.

new_tradition

I really wanna see how far we can get without spending any money. Tabata claims it doable, so I wanna try to at least get through the campaign mode or something.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Yeah, I would hope it doesn’t require you to spend a ton. I’m not a fan of having to spend to beat games.

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Pay to win! (Soul Calibur F2P reference). Not just for the sake of Agito, but for the sake of gaming, I hope that sort of thing doesn’t fly for long.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Agreed.

new_tradition

Looks like Agito might have some new music or at least arrangements of what was in Type-0 ^^

new_tradition

Okay, so I still don’t understand why Metro and Dead Island 2 is getting
show here in the trailer line-ups….

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I think Square-Enix is publishing them.

Edit – The developers finish the game and SE helps them distribute the game.

new_tradition

I see. I just don’t see any other mention of them, so it kind of feels weird xD

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I guess they asked SE if they could get some run time on the e3 stream. xD

Roger

Ahhhh, DQVII :/

Anime10121

Here only for the Kingdom Hearts, since RotTR aint being shown today…

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

/welcome

They had an amazing music segment with Yoko Shimomura earlier. It was fantastic.

Anime10121

I saw that too :)
And man I LUV Shimomura <3

Didnt know you were hosting another live blog for them today :P

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Yeah, it was so good. Love her and her music.

Yep, I posted it yesterday, that I would be here again tomorrow. It’s hard to keep up though with all the e3 crazyness.

I will be covering the stream again tomorrow. Feel free to join me again tomorrow. :)

(We also have our big open forum #100 coming up friday. We will be announcing the e3 prize stuff tomorrow, but even more stuff to win in OF 100.)

Anime10121

She’s my favorite composer!
But yeah, I’ll come back tomorrow if I can :D

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Cool. I hope you can join me. ^^

rainelee

I dont think they’re planning to show any RoTTR

Anime10121

They got one more “to be announced show” for tomorrow, I’m taking that to be RotTR, I mean, what else they got to show?

new_tradition

Oh shoot, you can wear KH1 clothes during KH2 FM? I didn’t know that :O

MrFinalgamer

It’s a Drive form. Forgot the name, but it basically gives you the move set of KH1. Including moves like Ragnarok, and Ars Arcanum.

Anime10121

Limit form

MrFinalgamer

Same diference!

Anime10121

lol, no man, thats the name of the drive :P

MrFinalgamer

Oh…woops!

Anime10121

Its cool man :P

Anime10121

Nah, its a drive form

Gammer21

Any more game announcements coming from se?

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Tough to say for sure. I’m not expecting anything big on the stream at least.

Gammer21

Thanks man

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Johnny Cage?

EDIT: I knew it couldn’t be of course, but damn… )_)

Anime10121

lol loved this trailer at Sony’s show

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Live from SE booth at e3 coming up.

new_tradition

Oh, is that the FFXIV Leviathan Challenge thing they have set-up?

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it is. The lack of any commentary here is kinda odd though.

new_tradition

Probably technical difficulties. Or someone trolling. Hope those people on camera don’t get caught picking their nose or something, lol…

EDIT: Owait, maybe there waiting for a team to start before focusing on them?

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I bet someone gets caught doing something like that. =P

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

I also like how Capcom and Mortal Kombat each got a nice shout out there from the camera panning about.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

xD

new_tradition

Another Capcom shot, lol.

CAPCOM x SQUARE-ENIX CROSS-OVER CONFIRMED!!!11111!1

xD

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

…Sub Zero Kombat EX Edition!!! :P

new_tradition

Ahhhhh, lucky people playing KH 2.5 demos D:

futuristic_imagination

How does the Leviathan Challenge thing work? I assume you have to log in to your character to fight it or they have pre-set characters?

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I’m not 100% sure. It might be pre-set characters. I’m also not sure if its hard mode or extreme, or some hybrid build.

new_tradition

Now there’ s Witcher, and Warner Brothers? Damn guys, that cross-over game is gonna be huge o.o

I’m sorry for being so lame

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

It’s all good, I’m sure MANY people are thinking it. That or ‘why do people feel the need to goof off the moment they see a camera!?!?’ O_o

new_tradition

Oh, they have an actual panel discussion set up. Guess they’re just taking their sweet time then…

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Oh so THAT’S what the Square Enix booth looks like, cool.

It’s weird though, they spoke way too much during the EA press conference, but Square’s ‘live from the booth’ has no commentary whatsoever. >_<

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Guess I’ll go grab a drink.

new_tradition

Haha, someone got that Teddie bag. So jelly!

shogunknight

Hm, thought we will see some new stuff. Maybe later

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I found a drink, was looking for a snack. Didn’t find anything. =(

http://www.di.fm Spicy Chicken

Dang. Ironically here it’s really hot to the point I’m mostly just drinking from necessity! >_<

Welp, time to hit that futon! Enjoy the rest of the show everyone. ;)

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Take care. o/

ttyl.

Anime10121

Probably gonna do up some burgers and fries in a min myself… or maybe a pizza since Im feelin a little lazy :/

She gave the exact same answer and reasoning as Yasue for her favorite world :/

I’m thinking someone doesnt actually play the series…

Anime10121

“Its so nice to see the Square Enix product unite with the Disney world”…

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Actually never seen most of this before, since I didn’t get to play BBS. Lil Kairi so cute though.

Anime10121

She is! You’ll get so much cwute in BBS :D

Zackasaur

Birth by Sleep is my favourite game of all time. You’re in for some greatness.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

It always looked great. I just didn’t have time or a PSP.

Zackasaur

Well, you’re about to catch up in fashion. :3

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I have lots of KH to find time to play. I need someone to send me a bunch of cash, and the internet to stop for a few weeks. That should help me catch up quickly. lmao.

Zackasaur

Hey, internetz are a choice! But I wish I could help more with cash. :c

My dream is to be a KH sugar daddy/Santa Claus.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Not when you have a job and responsibilities connected to the internet. xD

Zackasaur

Shush, you!

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

/cry

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I need to find time to play me some KH. xD

Zackasaur

Hell yes you do!

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

xD

Anime10121

They have NO idea what they’re talking about :/
Cavern of Remembrance/the Data XIII battles do NOT get harder the more times you do them (in fact you get items to make them EASIER, every time you beat them)…

And to add to that, you cant even access it at the beginning of the game…

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

They should have hired you to talk about the series. :D

Anime10121

Lol, would’ve been better than two folks who obviously havent played the series and have just rehearsed lines that they are kinda messing up from time to time xD

But then, I’m guessing most folks who work for these companies only know the basics and whats explained to them and aren’t actual gamers themselves…

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Maybe. Still, would be cool if they brought in fans and let them have like a little round table discussion. :P

bloodiOS

So when will they talk about the Raitonin-uguu~ Collection for PS4?

Anime10121

If they’re announcing it, it would have to be tomorrow, since the last unannounced show is tomorrow night…

And honestly, its the only title that makes sense to show if Tomb Raider 2 is too far away to show anything solid…

MOAR RAITONINUGUU IT ISUU >:/

MrFinalgamer

Why, of all things, would you want THAT to be a thing?

bloodiOS

I don’t know, just thought that it’s an easy cash-grab opportunity.

MrFinalgamer

Putting the PSP version of Type-0 on PSN would be an even better, and easier cash grab! DX

bloodiOS

But that would be stealing wind from the PS4 and XBO version. It’s all about maximum cash-grab.

MrFinalgamer

But that PSN version would be for the Vita. That way portable players can play it, and console players get the better graphics! It’s a win-win!

bloodiOS

Who knows honestly… Between the PSP being dead and Vita’s tiny install base in the West, I guess they just couldn’t care to give Sony more licensing fee. It makes more sense to put a trilogy that has sold approximately 12 million copies on the rapidly expanding install base of 8th-gen consoles.

MrFinalgamer

I don’t know. Didn’t LR sell quite bad in comparison to the other games in the series? I doubt a re-release would change the bad name the XIII games have.

Really, putting Type-0 how it is on the PSP, on PSN for the Vita is basically easy money, since they need to do absolutely nothing…

bloodiOS

As ill-received as the FFXIII trilogy appears to be, it still seriously has a lot of fans who would be willing to buy it again. Of course, Square Enix could also cook up some bullshits about enhancements here and there to convince people. As for Type-0? They could be doing just that after the release of the PS4 and XBO version, under the pretense of “we have heard your voices.”

MrFinalgamer

Wouldn’t put it past them to do that >_>, but hey! I would love to play the game on a portable, so I would definitely buy it regardless. Just hope they don’t get mad that the Vita version didn’t sell as good, even though it’s a port of an already released game…

PrinceHeir

I may finally buy both 1.5 and 2.5 HD Remix.

My brother played the hell out of these games, but stop playing and isn’t that hype for KHII

So yeah excited for this! I’m surprise they didn’t made a Vita version since FFX | X-2 HD has one as :(

bloodiOS

Based on the performance of FFX|X-2HD on Vita, I don’t think KHHD would turn out well (… well, I’m partially jesting.)

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Sorry! My internet died for about 10 mins. I’m back now.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

According to the schedule, this is up next – Square Enix Presents Interview: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix Special Guest: Co-Director Tai Yasue [Repeat] (English)

I missed it yesterday. Had to run some errands. I’m here today though!

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Have some more music stuff coming up later. I’m actually excited for that.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I guess it’s starting in 2 mins.

KingNigma

This is the same as yesterday is it not?

Anime10121

Aye that it is ;)

KingNigma

Whoops, didn’t notice the (repeat) in the schedule.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Yeah. I missed this yesterday myself. xD

MrFinalgamer

Re:Coded being integral to the story!? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

shogunknight

Say what?

MrFinalgamer

They said that Coded was integral to the story. I find that funny since the only important thing out of that game is the secret ending, and that is just foreshadowing to 3D.

shogunknight

Oh, thats actually odd

new_tradition

It’s mostly PR speak, trying to fluff up their product :P

Samsara09

You sure?KH DDD revealed that maleficent had enough of playing at Xehanort’s hands and is preparing something related to the digital worlds from jiminy’s journal.

True, but most of Re:Coded’s relevance is shockingly easy to summarize. It’s a fun game to actually play, but narrative wasn’t a super strong point.

To be fair, my memory is a tad fuzzy now, but if I looked through Theatre Mode, I’m pretty sure most of the scenes shown aren’t gonna be super important.

I mean, I remember that the Sora we play as isn’t even the real Sora, but a digital avatar Mickey and co are privy to. Same with a digital Riku, a digital Namine (and that “thank you”, while a nice shout out to to the fans, still didn’t happen between to real characters).

I treat Re:Coded as that little bridge between KH2 and KH3D, so I’m not saying it has no relevance, but if you really had to choose one game not to play, I think it would be Re:Coded :/

Samsara09

I am well aware of this.But…well,Maleficent isn’t exactly a pushover.
And now there are two issues,Xehanort’s organization XIII,and her.
Besides,they may be telling the truth,depending on how III is…

new_tradition

Oh no, I agree! I’m just saying as a game itself, it wasn’t super important to the series. That plot point you’re talking about, it could’ve been included in DDD for example (I think it actually was, to some extent…)

Samsara09

Nomura knows how to bait and troll us.The game may seem idiot,it even may be,but I am sure he put a hook in the game to link it with III,and we are probably missing it.Then,he yanks it…And well…Mindfuck time,lol.

MrFinalgamer

Little bridge is giving it too much credit.

More like the step that connects KH2, and 3D

shogunknight

Hey, im seeing reports that bloodborne gameplay is going to be shown at PSBlog. Any others seen this?

Well that took longer than I thought it would. Did I miss anything uber awesome?

EDIT: *reads comment* I guess not? Though what’s this about no new musical arrangements for KH 2.5? :O

I know some people didn’t like some of the arrangements in 1.5, but I thought they were great, and the effort alone was wonderful to see.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

You missed my internet dying for a bit. They showed some KH Remix stuff, and a repeat of the KH interview thing from yesterday.

Mostly just a bit of gameplay from 2.5 was shown.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Also. Welcome back!

new_tradition

Good to be back! Frickin’ hot outside here, lol. Got my fan on full blast, whoooo

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I don’t have any ac either. Stupid heat. ; ;

new_tradition

Drown yourself in iced coffee like I do! :O

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Maybe. xD

Izzeltrioum

You guys do realize SE’s the first japanese company to totally ditch everything that’s not named PS4 and Xbox One, even though there’s still tons’a fanbases supporting PS3 and 360, here in the west? They get worse by the minute.

Not even a PS3 release of Type-0 HD?

YS 8 needs to be confirmed for PS4 to give SE what they deserve.

MrFinalgamer

While it does suck that Type-0 is not comming to the PS3 (and the Vita specially)…is it a bad thing that they’re moving on? We’re already 6 months into current gen, and last gen consoles are STILL getting support. Where’s the incentive to move on, if all of those games will be available on current gen?

new_tradition

On one hand I agree, but on the other hand, being the first Japanese company in terms of Western presence to embrace 8th gen probably pleases the people who went ahead and jumped to PS4 and XBOX One.

A lot of Western titles coming out are gonna get slammed by critics for being “held back” due to catering to 7th gen, so I guess at least SE won’t have that criticism…Maybe…

Well either way, I’m not getting a PS4 until KH3 or FFXV >3>

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

They really didn’t want that trailer to leak. lol…

new_tradition

I’m going back to the stream and watching the KH segment I missed. So they’re suggesting playing the games in release order? M’Kay…

I-I-It’s not like I’m showing anger b-by a recent game of theirs n-not getting a c-certain handheld r-release.

N-Not at a-a-a-all

Samsara09

tough words to back up I am afraid.

MrFinalgamer

2 different styles, and game series. Only thing they have in common is that they’re action RPGs…and very different at that. Like Comparing red apples, and green apples. It all comes down to your preferences.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Come on. Let’s not do this. This isn’t the time or place for this discussion. Besides, it hasn’t been all KH discussion in here all day.

Izzeltrioum

Just can’t stand SE anymore. It’s like they can’t get their stuff together no matter how much they try. And when they can (Type-0 VITA), they always manage to piss their fanbase anyhow >_> and yet here I am, complaining all over again at the tiniest thing they do.

Need some fresh air I tell you.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I never got the chance to play any Metro. I might try and pick this bundle of both games up. $50 price tag not too bad.

new_tradition

I’m frankly a big wuss. The war horror atmosphere is enough to keep me away, but yeah, 50 bucks if a decent value for what you get.

The piano is a frickin’ amazing instrument. Manages to perform all these songs all by itself *_*

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

It’s really cool to get a glimpse of what it would be like to go watch this live. The music is amazing, of course.

new_tradition

The performer must be made of steel. All up there by his lonesome self. One fuck up and everyone will notice D:

KingNigma

Lol why is it usually the piano that people are worried about the performer making mistakes on.

new_tradition

Well I was saying more that it was one person by them self more so than it being the piano.

KingNigma

I get ya.

Anime10121

Because the piano is like a one man orchestra :P It hits so many notes and has so much range! It’s my favorite instrument, and by far one of the more difficult to master!

KingNigma

My fav instrument too. I’m just pointing out that it’s rare to see people going “Don’t screw up” if it’s say a guitarist or violinist.

Anime10121

Its probably because its so many key strokes and a simple mistake is extremely audible in piano :P

KingNigma

True.

new_tradition

Festival of the Hunt <3333

new_tradition

Ahhhhh…Shoot, I don’t know which song this is D:

EDIT: FFVI, what. Whoa, I was thinking FFIX o.o

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

It just shut off on me. They ended it and playing this e3 promo now out of no where. wth?

new_tradition

Mine is frozen on the FFVI image…

EDIT: Now it’s just the SE Present Red screen. Noooooo

KingNigma

Same, just froze on me.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I guess they ran out of time and had to cut it? I still see about 9 mins before the next thing. Why the sudden cut off? I was enjoying the music.

new_tradition

Ditto :/

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Bah. At least we have a distant worlds thing coming up a bit later.

5:30 p.m. PDT – Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy

new_tradition

I hope so :3

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Coming up – Focus On: Nosgoth – Or How to Suck Less at Playing Nosgoth (English)

Since I had no idea what Nosgoth even was. I looked it up –

Nosgoth is an upcoming free-to-play multiplayer action game, developed by Psyonix and published by Square Enix for Microsoft Windows through digital distribution. It is a spin-off of the Legacy of Kain series of action-adventure games, and takes place in their eponymous fictional universe. Nosgoth employs a player versus player system in which each match consists of two rounds. Teams comprise characters assigned to one of two races: vampires, designed around hack and slash combat; or humans, whose gameplay is styled after third-person shooters. Between rounds, teams switch to control the opposing race, and the team which accumulates the most points by fighting their counterparts wins the match.

I had no idea it was a spin-off of the Legacy of Kain series. That does make me a tad bit more interested. Free-to-play mp action game doesn’t sound like my style though.

If it has some cooperative stuff, maybe. I’m more of a cooperative mp gamer than a competitive one. I like to play and help my friends, not try and kill them a bunch.

It’s kinda fun every once in a while, but that’s why I tend to prefer MMORPGs when it comes to my online gaming.

KingNigma

Free-to-play :D
Not-to-win :(

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Well, that’s a good thing for sure. I’m just not sure its my style of game is all. One that I would really like to play. I’ll try anything out though. My problem is lack of time lol.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Almost 500 comments in here. I didn’t realize that! Awesome! Thanks so much for everyone that has hung out with me in here today. :)

new_tradition

Glad to be here =D

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Thanks. =)

new_tradition

Yay, more E3 pan shots of unsuspecting people :P

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Hurray! xD

new_tradition

I hope streaming issues won’t be as bad tomorrow. Today was suppose to be a “light” day in SE’s schedule. I think the next day there’s that TBA announcement o.o

Yeah, sorry man. If they announce anything, like I said, it probably won’t be on the stream.

Anime10121

Its all good man, it aint your fault SE announces stuff but never has anything to actually show for it :(

Now we have

Tomb Raider 2
XV
KH3
Type 0 HD

all announced, yet only one has a release date with no actual gameplay
2 having shown gameplay over a year ago with no hints of a release date
and 1 more with an announcement that showed nothing but a still of the “supposed” game with nothing but a “more information soon” (when coming “soon” to SE can last nearly a decade :/)

How did I get in such an abusive relationship with this company. They constantly break my soul, and yet I stay, batting puppy dog eyes every time they flash the goods :(

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I think we might see more from XV and KH 3 soon, maybe even in the next few weeks. :)

They do like to make us wait a bunch.

KingNigma

I really hope so.

Anime10121

Hopefully the last one is something of actual importance (though I will get that Lara croft spinoff game). Todays three TBA shows were thoroughly underwhelming :/

Lara Croft spinoff (which I will get, but its no HYPE :I )
FFVII Moto mobile game :/
Dead Island ( dont know whether to meh or not :| )

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I see people in the SE presents booth. What’s the hold up I wonder? Unless this is old footage.

new_tradition

I think it’s live. Looks like less people then earlier in the day, hmm…

Bobby Jennings

I never win anything.

KingNigma

You win my <3

Bobby Jennings

Aww. thanks. :P

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Finally started it.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Some interesting classes, but, the game needs work you can tell. Just some tweaks in parts.

new_tradition

Okay, so if I understand right, you play two rounds, one as a powerful vampires, and then the next round as humans and trying to stay for alive as long as possible?

KingNigma

Lol Jack Bauer.

KingNigma

Man he’s drilling the guy.

new_tradition

lmao, driving people away with sucky playing, that’s so mean

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

This guy is just not having good luck.

new_tradition

Damn you Jack Bauer! *shakes fist*

xD

new_tradition

Well semi-n00b playing aside, it actually looks more fun that I thought it would.

So, she performs at Distant World, but only Answers is her official song for Final Fantasy. Still, great song and contribution ^^

KingNigma

Hopefully we’ll see more of her.

new_tradition

Hey, Blinded by the Light =D

Anime10121

Watch this show end with RAITONIGUU’s theme song :/
Still cant get enough of her eh SE?

jk, I actually like her theme…just dont like Lightning herself :P

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I really like this version of the the song.*

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Just wow, that was superb.

Anime10121

Oh SHEET, CHOCOBO MEDLEY :D

new_tradition

I went to a Distant Worlds concert about…4 years ago I think? Great stuff. They played the Chocobo melody there too ^^

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

Lucky! I’ve never been able to go.

new_tradition

I was so surprised when I saw a listing for Toronto. The day tickets went on sale I bought a cheap-ass nosebleed seat, but I also bought a meet and greet ticket, so I got to see Arnie and Nobuo after the show =D

Only sucky thing is that I went alone, but still a really enjoyable experience. Totally worth going to ^^

EDIT: I bought the tickets, but the concert was actually, like, 8 months later xD

KingNigma

Toronto? When was that?

new_tradition

Around November 2010

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

It’s cool you got to go. I was going to try and go this year but I had to spend most of my saved up cash on rl, mostly my family that needed my help.

They were going to be close to me but the timing just didn’t work out.

I would want to go with a friend though, so, I can understand that being kinda sucky.

new_tradition

Well I hope circumstances are better if you ever decide to go to the next one near by ^^

new_tradition

Four Hearts :O

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

OH YES!

new_tradition

lol, Sephiroth, you glorious bastard and your theme song <3

EDIT: Oh, they're playing the version I like. I dunno why they made 2+ versions with different lyrics, but I liked the lyrics the first time around more than the newer version. Just sounds more lyrical to my ears *shrugs*

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

sephiroth~~~~

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I wonder if when they were first composing this song if they ever imagined it becoming one of the most well known and loved video game tracks.

One Winged Angel I mean.

KingNigma

Same, I wonder if they’ll ever be another FF song that has as much impact as Sephy’s theme.

http://twitter.com/kazumalynx Zero

I wanna gooooo to the one in chicago!

new_tradition

Wait, FFVI’s 20th anniversary is coming up? :O

And there’s another one in Toronto…Wonder if Masashi will tour this time. He did for some of them…

Almost 500 comments! Very nice. They are wrapping up so that means I am too.

Thanks so much for joining me in the comments.

I’ll be here tomorrow too.

Take care~

P.S. I posted this earlier –

I forgot to mention. I’m still giving away prizes. Someone will win a prize in here. Just keep following along and posting. ^^

I plan to announce the winners of the e3 related prizes tomorrow. The open forum #100 stuff will be announced in OF #100.

new_tradition

Well I guess that’s that xD

EDIT: Strange, I guess disqus was getting overloaded here. I didn’t see anyone else’s comments for the last 20-30 minutes until I reloaded the page. I thought I was posting alone, haha T.T

Mikail

Ok i will add some another comment. To Square Enix, please make FF Type O HD on PS4 or Xbox One with graphic fidelity like FFXV. if not, it would be pointless making the game for that kind of powerfull console and better making it on Handled if its just resolution upgrade and frame rate upgrade.
